in the catalogue Sally Russell was des-

from the auction ring to further enjoy
the pastures of WOODBURY.. Mr.. Alexander

STONES PILOT, THE GRANDSlRE
OF BONESETTER.

1.-The memory of man, when subjected
to the test of forty-tive years past, is at
tended with many uncertainties, yet there
are circumstances which may be brought
to bear that beyond peradventure serve
to recall facts that wildly portray in let
tiers of living light matters of no ordinary
Importance. To this ultmatum the sub
ject of this missive serves as very favor
able instance. Therefore permit me to
say that to the very best of my recollec-
ton Parker's Brown Pilot was sired by
Old Copperbottom dam by Cherokee.
Beyond this the pedigree is not such as
would tend to warrant an assertion of an
irrefutable nature that would specifically
defy any controversy. 1t is useless to
say to you that at the date referred to
trotting horses were but little known in
that fertile portion of Kentucky designa-
ted as the Bluegrass region.
"Parker's Brown Pilot, the sire of
Stones Pilot, sire of Brooks, sire of
Bonesetter, was fOaled about 1910, and
was the property of Michael Parker of
Fayette Co., Ky, about three miles from
Lexington, on the Maysville and Lexing-
ton turnpike, near the farm of II. T.
Duncan. The first season of said horse
that | knew of was made in Bourbon
county, near the line of Fayette and
Bourbon counties and adjacent to the
farm of James Matson, where he was kept
and handled by Warren, son of said
Parker. This was the season of

Two railroads in one day is even worse

ors arrived here today with orders to run
the locating line of the Arkansas Valley
Iuka & N. w. with all speed possible,
beginning at Saratoga, as graders are wait
ing to get to work. A condemning board
have been appointed and will commence
at once securing right of way. This line
will run through the counties Of Pratt,
Edwards, Hodgeman and Lane to the main
line of the D. NJ & A. line of inestima-
BILE value to Iuka as general freight and
passenger division station will be made
here. Thus the mystery gradually un-
folds why the Mo. Pac. r. R. purchased
so much land around Iuka and we look for
greater developments in the future,
The Union Pacific representatives were
here today to submit propositions for their
extension from Mcpherson via St. John
and Iuka to Medicine Lodge,
two surveys of which have
already been made, and locating line is
now being run. Aid will be voted them
through this county, as the Union Pacific
is a very desirable road to have, and they
expect to push this line through at once
with their customary energy and spirit.
The Union Pacific Railroad Town Co.,
by way of inducement for people to locate
in Iuka, are going to begin at once the
erection of large number of houses to be
sold on the monthly installment plan. Thus
by paying an amount equal to an ordinary
monthly rent, in two or three years you
beco me the owner of nice, comfortable
home Over thirty houses have been con-
tracted for on this plan.
Property is steadily advancing.
T hough Iuka is the county seat of one of
the best counties in the state and destined
to become great railroad center, prices
on real estate are not and never have been
inflated now is the time to buy. When our
big boom comes property will advance

1t is q mistake, INDUCED in by many

The growth has been rapid and
steady. Since the last United States

between empirial and republican form OF
government, it will inevitably become OF

are in one religion, that of the Catholic,
and possessing the fire Of the Spanish blood
intermixed with that of the ancient Aztecs,
the Mexicans not only lack that needed
freedom, but also are wanting the power
of regulating that freedom after it once has
been procured. The United States is that
power, let Mexico annex herself to our

PROSPERITY OF THE MASSES.

Fred Douglass, who has been abroad for
several months, writes: II am going
''home with the knowledge that the aver
cage man in the United States is better fed,
"clothed and sheltered than in any other
''part of the world" Mr. Douglass testi-
mony corroborates that of every person
who has investigated the subject. Why
this is true. is subject which may be per
sued with profit. 1t will be conceded that
wealth is the product of labor. There is
not much doubt that people in Europe per-
form as much labor as do the people in
this country. Then if they are not SO well
fed and clothed as our own people, it fol-
lows as matter of fact that they are less
skilled than our people and do not pro-
duce as much by the same amount
of toll or by some arrangement
they do not get the products of their own
labor. The latter we are inclined to think
is the trouble. A days work in England
or any other country ought to produce as
m UGH wealth as here. 1t is because of
system of robbery against the laboring
people in those countries that they do not
ha We more of the necessaries of life. One
other thing in our favor is that we have
less population. The patriotism of the
pc ople of every section leads them to want
great populous cities and farmer on each
forty acres. There is limit, however, to
the number of people who can live pros
perously On a given territory. We
believe there would be less poverty
and suffering with five million people in
Kansas than with twenty millions. In the
former case there would be less suffering
in proportion to the whole number of peo-
pie than in the latter. Any system which
prevents the laborer from being deprived
of the products of his own honest toll will
go along ways toward preventing poverty.
There are no royal families in this country
to live off the labor of our people. And to
this fact is largely due the reason that there
is less poverty in this country than in
Europe

THE FLAGS.
Remarks by Southern Newspapers.

1t would have been better had President
Cleveland never mentioned the flag affair.
If the order to return them must originate
in congress, the president should have
known it before all this hue and cry was
raised If the power is vested in the exec
utive, he should have stood by his action.
We love our flags and want them, but We
want no more strife. The northern press
Jumps at every opportunity to stir up strife
and generate hatred between the sections,
and such opportunities should not be
given-[ Augusta ga Chronicle.
1t is pity that there was not more
thorough scrutiny in the beginning. AL
though it is indubitable that the president
order is rescinded for the reason that he
gives, and for no other reason, plenty of
persons will believe that the Ohio and Iowa
protests caused the change of the front.
This is unjust, hut it is politics. There
will be some disappointment at the failure
to receive the old flags when expected, but
north and south alike can wait little
longer. The presidents good will and
good intentions have been manifested once
more, and the kindly feelings aroused by
his order will not be changed, or weaken
ed, by its necessary withdrawal
ton, S. c., News and Courier
Nobody in the south. certainly no south
ern state and no confederate soldier, cares
nickel whether the battle flags are re-
turned or not If there be single soldier
of the north who would retain them as
trophies he is welcome to all the glory and
all the display which they can recall to his
mind or bring to his heart. To us they
mean nothing whatever. Assuredly, they
betoken no greater loss on the side OF the
north than that Of the south, and, to 8
sound and healthy understanding, it is In
conceivable how their possession can be a
matter If moment or concern to any pa
triotic bosom. -Louisville, KY, Courier
Journal.
As for the flags themselves, had they
been sent us in a generous spirit, the south
would have received them in the manly
spirit in which they were returned. She
would have accepted them as solemn
pledge that the last spark Of resentment
between the two best armies the sun eveI
shone On, had died out forever. The
union blood which glOrifies some of these
flags would have been held as sacred in
any southern state capital as If II were the

The tales from Wichita are of a most
distressing nature. A town where editors
are garroted and robbed is certainly in a
bad way. We may express the hope, per
haps without offense, that the new police
commission will succeed in restoring
Wichita to condition of peace and order.
And We have no doubt that few ringing
editorials in Mr.. Murdock's excellent fami-
ly paper will go far toward insuring the
establishment of law and tranquility.
C. Times
Kansas City is not the only town that is
being continually distressed by the news
from Wichita and the chances are that
there will be many others equally distress
ed. Sixty per cent gain in population in a
single year is a tale of distressing proper

tranquility she don't knew the meaning of

The old emperor of Germany and his
advisers have held in the case of Major
Hinze that it is the duty of an officer in the
German army in certain cases to challenge
and fight duel, even when the laws of
his country forbids dueling. This pro-
ceeding is disgrace to the German people.
Dueling is cowardly means of getting
nd of great leaders by putting up some
mullet head to kill them. The killing of
the brilliant leader of the Douglas wing of
the Democratic party in California, Brod
erick, by Judge Terry, made duellipg dis
graceful In this country.
